Calhoun is preparing for their first district matchup of the season on Friday. They will head out on the road to challenge the Ingleside Mustangs at 7:00 p.m. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

The Mustangs came out on top against the Pirates by a score of 5-2. The Mustangs haven't had any issues with the Pirates recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.
Kylee Ward spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on four hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 18 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Kaylee Murua was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run and two runs.
Ingleside kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive matchups.
